Some will be familiar, others won’t be, and for those who played the game on GameCube, they will be old-hat – granted, a spruced up old hat.

Unfortunately, the video was removed by Nintendo, with NeoGAF pointing out that the firm likely “pulled the trigger” on it too early.

It’s rather lovely actually, but we’ll leave the rumor tag attached to this until Nintendo actually confirms the bundle – which probably won’t be a long wait.

The Wind Waker bundle is said to contain the 32GB Deluxe version of the console along with a copy of the game for $349.99.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD will be out on Wii U on October 4 in Europe.

True heroes never have and easy go of it anyway, you know. According to Polygon, Hero Mode will not contain hearts in the environment nor will fallen foes drop them. The only way to heal is through the use of potions and fairies and enemies will also dole out double damage. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD will be out on Wii U on October 4 in Europe.

There’s also rumours of new 3DS XL bundles for Pokemon X & Y.

Destructoid has word of the bundles. The Wii U bundle will contain the 32GB Deluxe version of the console, and of course a copy of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. This will set you back $349.99.

The Pokemon bundle will offer two choices of 3DS XL colour, red or blue. There’s no word on which colour will come packed with which version of the game. The bundles will retail at $199.99

There’s no release dates for the bundles yet, but it’s likely to be October as that’s when the games are out. Common sense, you know?

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, will also be launching this fall, but in November.

Wind Waker HD will arrive in Europe on October 4 and while a US date was not provided, it is also slated – as previously noted – for an October launch as well. So it looks like Target was spot on – at least on the EU end of things.

A Link Between Worlds was announced back in broadcast in April, and while it will land in the US during November, Europe will be getting it “toward the end of this year”.

The game takes place many generations after A Link to the Past and the Dark World has its own Triforce causing major changes to the world.

Link will no longer use portals but will travel between worlds using cracks in reality. Shots are below along with some gameplay videos taken from the Nintendo Direct conference.

http://www.vg247.com/2013/07/31/the-legend-of-zelda-wind-waker-hd-said-to-have-new-difficulty-level/#commentsWed, 31 Jul 2013 08:35:28 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=393569The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD isn’t just a mere Wii U upscale, as a lot of work has gone into making the GameCube classic all shiny for current-gen. It may also be getting a new difficulty mode, according to a recent product listing.

The game’s product listing on Amazon.com reads, “In this definitive version on the Wii U console, you can experience the game in gorgeous 1080p graphics, manage your inventory and view maps on the Wii U GamePad controller, and even choose to take on a more challenging difficulty level.”

IGN suggests that this could be a nod to a new Master Quest mode in Wind Waker. Also, the game is listed at $49.99, which is $10 less than full Wii U releases, suggesting that the game’s re-make nature has caused Nintendo to lop a tenner off the top.

What do you think of the above?
